So I'm looking for a Linux laptop to replace my trusty old 2013 Macbook Pro which is now EOL. I could use some faster hardware anyway. I looked at the Adder, and it seems like it has almost everything I want. Open firmware, good documentation, etc. However there's just one little thing...

The display. My MBP has a 2560x1440 display and I love it because when I'm coding in CLion, Intellij or whatnot I have lots of screen real estate. But the Adder only goes up to 1080p. I could go all the way up to a Bonobo, but I really don't want to lug around a 17" laptop anymore. I'm getting old.

So, my question is this... anyone moved from a Retina display back down to 1080p and had major problems with it? Any fellow coders miss the extra screen real estate? Or am I worrying over nothing?
